As you may have noticed during the past week, VirtualR is operational again, run by myself, Montoya, the site’s original founder and, for most of the past 13 years, sole editor. I encountered a serious...
Providing virtual racing news for 10 years running, VirtualR is back with a major overhaul.

There is no track more affiliated with Porsche than Le Mans. The German make is the most successful manufacturer that has ever competed at La Sarthe, clinching more class and overall victories than anybody else. To...
Today was pretty much a not existent news day so I decided to tweak the site a bit. Ever since I included the Image Drop, I was rather unhappy with the messy look of the form in the header. That and the packed-looking sidebar motivated me to include a navigation bar at the top, giving the header a much cleaner look. The changes in detail:
1) The Image Drop is now on a separate page, everything works as it did before
2)? The site has an all-new search page, coming with lots of options to make your desired content easier to find
3) The archives section lists all items in chronological order, making it easier to access older postings.
4) Every now and then, users tip me off on new stories/mods/developments via the contact form. This inspired me to include a “Report News” feature so if you have seen/made something you want to share with all readers, this is the way to do it!
5) Another new feature are the email updates. You don’t like RSS-Feeds and want to be informed nevertheless? The email service is for you, dropping daily simracing updates in your inbox. This service is powered by Feedburner and guaranteed spam-free!
The last slight change includes the site’s name. Since my focus is not much on my own screenshots anymore, I decided to change it to something more appropriate.
Thad’s it, thanks for reading all this if you made it this far ???? I hope you like the changes because I did them with you (the reader) in mind, making the site look cleaner and stuff easier to find. If you spot any errors, please let me know.

I??ve got the chance to play with an iPod Touch today (sadly not mine…yet), Apple’s newest-generation MP3 player. The Touch is pretty much a simplified version of the famous iPhone, lacking not much but the phone features. It does have Wi-Fi and Apple’s Safari browser though, making it a neat little tool to surf with.
While Internet on phones and other small gadgets has been quite a turnoff so far, surfing on the iPod/Phone is quite enjoyable. Of course I couldn’t resist to try and surf up this very blog. And what should I say? To my surprise, everything looked and worked right and flawless – Without doing anything? to archieve it, I am happy to announce that VirtualR.net is fully Safari-compatible ????
So all of you iPod/Phone users out there can check out the latest news and screenshots while being on the road….WiFi connection needed of course ????

Time for a little trip to the time when motor racing was dangerous, photos were made on film instead of memory cards and legends like Hans Stuck or Eddie Cheever were in their best years. Enjoy the BMW 320i E21 Cup at...
